I think a huge thing we are overlooking about the D is that they are not creating turnovers. I made a point in some other thread that our turnover ratio is around -2, while it was it was positive when we made that 6 game run for the the playoffs.

The point is, it is ok if your D gives up big chunks of yards, but if they get picks, and create fumbles, to put a weak Brunell in favorable field position chances are we will score more and stop scoring. Overall our special teams is pretty good, but if our D starts creating turnovers, we will be much better on both sides of the ball. Last year the Bengals ran a similar D, that gave up yards, but created alot of turnovers, which is very successful in the NFL.

Mods: I am sorry if this issue has formally been mentioned in another thread, if mods feel the need, please delete.
